Like a hog on ice w/o chains, a bit better with low pressure in the tires,
stay above 10psi, almost as good as a track with chains.
If you go out with 50psi on hardpack snow you can get stuck on flat ground,
(ask me how I know).

Hi List...

How well do M35A2 deuces handle snow-packed roads with, and without,
tire chains?

Thanks!
